My desk is littered with documents, files, all growing proof of unfinished business. The investigation team has been in and out of my temporary office all morning, each member adding to the pile of work I can’t seem to escape from. 

The large, yellow envelopes, print–outs, employee details all add to the mountain of things on my to–do list. I sweep all I can fit into my briefcase along with the rest of Grayson’s paperwork, wanting everything in one place for the flight back to Brussels. 

It’ll be easier to sift through once I’m settled in the jet, away from this pressure cooker. 

I glance at my watch. I need to get moving. There’s no time to deal with any of this here; I’ll need the next 24 hours in Brussels to breathe, focus on my family, and help Winona settle the kids into their new school routine. 

The idea of being home even for just one night is the only thing keeping me sane right now. 

I get a few key documents I still need to sign off on before I leave and isolate them as I sign. The 

investigation team has a lot of moving pieces, and the chaos with Nexus London isn’t going to wrap itself 

1. up. 

My phone buzzes. A message from Winona flashes across the screen: 

See you tonight! The kids are excited. 

My heart eases, the stress of the morning temporarily lifted. I text back quickly: 

Can’t wait either. Love you. 

Viktor steps in. His entrance is measured, but there’s a tension in his posture that makes me set my phone down. 

“Something wrong?” I ask, narrowing my gaze. 

“Judy was here,” he says, his voice calm but with an undercurrent of warning. “She tried to push her way in, claiming she needed to see you. I had to… escort her out.” 

I lean back in my chair, a sinking feeling washing over me, “How bad did it get?” 

“Bad enough that she tried to get physical. I carried her out.” Viktor’s tone remains steady, but his eyes sharpen. “You need to know she’s close, Jayden. And I suspect she’s up to something more than just showing up unannounced. Did anything unusual happen while she was here?” 

Tthink back. Apart from the usual flow of investigators, nothing stands out. “No. Just the team coming in 

and out.” 

Viktor nods. “Stay alert, even in Brussels. You never know where her reach extends.” 

I nod, trying to suppress the unease crawling up my spine. “Thanks for the warning. I’ll be careful.” 

He watches me for a moment, a flicker of concern passing over his face. “And the paperwork?” 

I gesture to the briefcase. “Taking stuff with me. I want to go over Grayson’s actions myself, see if there’s

any trace of possible manipulation by anyone to frame him as he claims.” 

Viktor gives a curt nod. “I’ve set up a decoy flight. You’ll be traveling on a smaller charter jet without me, but the decoy should throw Judy off if she’s thinking of following.” 

I raise an eyebrow. “A decoy?” 

“Better safe than sorry. We don’t want her following you back to Winona and the kids.” 

Relief washes over me. I know I’m being paranoid, but that’s what life with Judy has done to me. I know every time things are happy, something happens.
